This season, Paris was in a state of transition. Luxury fashion’s ongoing slump cast a pall of uncertainty that was felt at many of the Spring/Summer 2025 shows. In reaction, some designers played it safe, others chose to take risks. “I feel in communion with the idea that the time has come for fashion to have a point of view,” Balenciaga creative director Demna says after his show. A highly anticipated debut at Valentino; standouts from Loewe, Saint Laurent and Bottega Veneta; plenty of parties; and ultra-luxury moments contrasted with a feeling of paranoia spurred by the relentless rumour mill surrounding creative director openings and a paring back of show sets to focus simply on the product. It made for an overall unsettled season, speckled with signs of strength.
